HEARING AID LISTENING TEST PRESETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18115483 titled 'HEARING AID LISTENING TEST PRESETS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for updating a user's hearing profile based on a pink noise band test and user preferences, then transmitting the updated profile to an auditory device.
- Receiving a signal from an auditory device
- Generating a hearing profile for a user
- Implementing a pink noise band test
- Determining user preferences presets
- Updating the hearing profile based on the test and presets
- Transmitting the updated hearing profile to the auditory device
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the development of personalized hearing aid settings, noise-canceling headphones, and audio equalizers.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of accurately updating and customizing a user's hearing profile based on objective testing and user preferences.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, better hearing aid performance, and personalized audio settings tailored to individual needs.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include the development of advanced hearing aid devices, audio equipment with personalized settings, and healthcare solutions for hearing impairment.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of sound profiling software in audio engineering to customize sound output based on user preferences.
What are the specific user preferences presets used in this method?
The specific user preferences presets used in this method could include volume levels, frequency adjustments, noise reduction settings, and sound equalization profiles.
How does the pink noise band test contribute to updating the user's hearing profile?
The pink noise band test helps in objectively assessing the user's hearing capabilities across different frequencies, which in turn allows for more accurate adjustments to the hearing profile based on the test results and user preferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method performed on a user device includes receiving a signal from an auditory device. The method further includes generating a hearing profile for a user associated with the user device. The method further includes implementing a pink noise band test. The method further includes determining one or more presets that correspond to user preferences. The method further includes updating the hearing profile based on the pink noise band test and the one or more presets. The method further includes transmitting the hearing profile to the auditory device.
